Nuclear shielding properties of Ni-, Fe-, Pb-, and W-based alloys

Radiation shielding ability and optical features of La2O3+TiO2+Nb2O5+WO3+X2O3 (X=B, Ga, and In) glass system containing high-entropy oxides

“…This is important in a mixed radiation field or in situations where the interaction of one form of radiation can give birth to another, such as in the radiative capture of neutrons. Therefore, composite materials, including glasses, rocks, and alloys, have been actively researched and recommended for radiation shielding in different radiation application scenarios [ [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] , [30] , [31] , [32] , [33] , [34] , [35] , [36] ]. Some of these materials have shown great potential as radiation shields; others have possessed certain qualities that make them preferable in different shielding scenarios.…”

Determination of Gamma Radiation Shielding Characteristics for Some Iron-Based Metallic Glasses

“…Due to the known toxic effects of lead and some problems arising from its weight, the search for new radiation shielding materials as an alternative to lead has gained momentum. Glasses [1][2][3], alloys [4][5][6], concretes [7][8][9], composites [10][11][12] and minerals [13,14] are included in the search new alternative products to lead. In addition to these, the choice of metallic glasses is a new alternative for use in this field, as their elements are adjustable up to a certain point.…”

Enhancement of nuclear radiation shielding properties of silicone rubber with γ‐ray irradiation induced graphene oxide modified carbonyl iron powder hybrid fillers

“…The heavy metal with high density such as Fe, Pb and W has good radiation protection efficiency for γ-ray. [14][15][16] Heavy metal shielding shell would increase the weight of equipment, which is irreconcilable with miniaturization, lightweight and long duration running. [17][18][19] In order to decrease the weight of nuclear shielding materials, various composites were prepared and investigated as shown in Table 1.…”

“…The heavy metal with high density such as Fe, Pb and W has good radiation protection efficiency for γ‐ray 14–16 . Heavy metal shielding shell would increase the weight of equipment, which is irreconcilable with miniaturization, lightweight and long duration running 17–19 .…”
